Speed
Main-thread work: 7.8 s
A phone's processor spends 7.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,109 HTML elements
The page has 3,109 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, PayPal and Shopify and others), adding 1.7 MB and 877 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
581 KiBAbout 581 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
333 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).
Shopify adds 144 ms
144 msShopify costs a phone 144 ms of main-thread work and 298 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Klaviyo adds 139 ms
139 msKlaviyo costs a phone 139 ms of main-thread work and 310 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
LoyaltyLion adds 84 ms
84 msLoyaltyLion costs a phone 84 ms of main-thread work and 368 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 182 KiB6 images could be 182 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 153 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
60 KiBAbout 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 303 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 303 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (144), other files 727 KiB (91) and images 724 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
EDGE_Nicotine_Pouches_-_Mobile.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
5 images in older formats
5 images (232 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 119.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Structured data has 3 problems

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
